Why would Michael insist that the lake be dragged?
Why would Michael draw any attention to Fredo and the lake at all?
Fredo didn't live at the compound. Who's to say he didn't leave the compound that morning for parts unknown? Who would even miss him? Who would ask questions about the disappearance of a divorced, childless Mafioso?
Quietly settling Fredo's accounts after the murder would have been easier and more prudent than putting on a "great show" to draw attention to the fact that Fredo was last seen at Michael's house.

...or if it was directorial license, designed to show us, dramatically, that Fredo had been shot, and that Michael was behind it... Lots of dramatic affect TB. The whole lake fishing scenario is a little contrived. They are dressed for winter, late in the day, not a prime time for fishing. How big is the lake, how far out did they go? I liked Neri standing up after the shot; more dramatic affect.

They are dressed for winter, late in the day, not a prime time for fishing. Cold weather fishing is something I've done. Late in the day? Connie is dressed in a robe and says Michael wants to take Anthony to Reno. While they could go there at any time of day, it's more likely that they'd get an AM start.

Had Fredo accepted his death? Why would he stay in the boat with Neri after Anthony left? Did he know what was coming? Is his prayer deliberately his last prayer? That's the beauty of it... nobody knows for sure.
